"One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives."

Euripides was a tragedian of classical Athens. Along with Aeschylus and Sophocles.

Innovative Approach to Tragedy: Euripides was known for his innovative approach to tragedy. He often questioned and subverted traditional conventions, introducing new elements to the genre. His plays were characterized by a focus on psychological complexity, inner conflicts, and a more realistic portrayal of human characters.

Controversial Views: Euripides was considered controversial in his time. Unlike his contemporaries Aeschylus and Sophocles, he often presented unconventional and critical perspectives on religion, politics, and societal norms. His plays sometimes challenged the traditional values of Athenian society.

Isolated Life: Towards the end of his life, Euripides lived a somewhat isolated existence. He spent a considerable amount of time away from Athens, residing in the court of the Macedonian king Archelaus II. Some sources suggest that he faced criticism and hostility in Athens, which may have contributed to his decision to live outside the city.

Posthumous Recognition: Despite the controversy during his lifetime, Euripides gained significant recognition and influence after his death. His works continued to be performed and studied, and later playwrights, including the Roman dramatist Seneca, were heavily influenced by his innovative style.

Award Success: While Euripides didn't win the prestigious Athenian dramatic competition, the City Dionysia, as frequently as his contemporaries, he did manage to win the first prize in at least four occasions. His plays, such as "Medea," "Hippolytus," and "The Bacchae," were appreciated for their artistic merit, even if they sometimes faced criticism for their departure from traditional norms.
